I am constantly told that ‘the task force decided’ so and so. That information
feels like some kind of pressure. I would like to hear technical or otherwise
sound arguments that I can accept or not.

The benefit of resolving this bug should be obvious. Namely: it brings the
language of this HTML5 extension in line with the language of the HTML5
specification.

My understanding is that the ultimate goal is to, at some point, make this spec
part of the HTML5 (or HTML 5.1 or HTML6) specification. To ease that
transition, it would be an advantage to use the same language as HTML5 uses.

Otherwise, it is unclear to me, whether you, at that point, would like redefine
HTML5/HTML51/HTML6’s definition of hyperlink.
